Open the AMS hub
Remove the cover near the PTFE outputs.
Check the cutter blade
Look for a clean V-shape. Burrs or rounded edges = time to replace the cutter assembly (cheap part).
Check the PTFE for grooves
Old PTFE develops grooves that snag filament. Replace if you see deep score marks.
Pro tipKeep a spare PTFE tube and cutter in your spares drawer. Both are very cheap and avoid a 2-hour debugging session.
